Minecraft 1.20.1, 1.21.1 కోసం ESSENTIALS Shader

ESSENTIALS Shader

A lightweight Minecraft shader with only essential VFX to simulate realistic effects such as shadows, sun rays, etc., to run on integrated GPUs.

There are lots of lightweight shaders, and they are said to preserve FPS well, but ESSENTIALS shader takes it to the BARE BONES next level with fake sunrays/moonrays, semi-realistic water, depth-based fogs, and much more. Yeah, it's probably the worst shader you have come across, but it will surely do what it was made for.

TARGET: The main target of this project is to make shaders also for iGPU users by BRUTALLY optimizing all the visual effects.
